The Persian version of auditory word discrimination test (P-AWDT) for children: Development, validity, and reliability

Auditory discrimination of speech sounds is an important perceptual ability and a precursor to the acquisition of language. Auditory information is at least partially necessary for the acquisition and organization of phonological rules. There are few standardized behavioral tests to evaluate phonemic distinctive features in children with or without speech and language disorders. The main objective of the present study was the development, validity, and reliability of the Persian version of Auditory Word Discrimination Test (P-AWDT) for 4-8-year-old children.
